What did you do to your mini today?
Like this look what did you use. Back in the day they made white tire pencils which were like a really large crayon for this application.....had to keep re-applying as it would crack and turn brown.
Put on the front plate for the first time in the car's life. Driving to Austin, TX tomorrow morning and I hear they're pretty strict on front plate. It's a $200 fine for no front plate, so there's a pretty big incentive for cops to pull you over for it.
It's pretty janky, I used 4 rubber twist ties from Home Depot and 4 velcro strips on the back to secure it. Here's hoping it doesn't fly away during the 13 hour drive...

I live here in Austin for 10 years now and never been pulled over for no front license plate. I might just be lucky or maybe they are no longer strict because I see numerous car without front license plate all the time.
I agree with this. Same here with no front plate and no problems.
Long winter. I noticed a couple of months ago that my passenger side carpet was soaking wet; and so was my headliner. I saw water dripping from the plastic trim where the carpet meets the door. I placed my car under a makeshift tarp (using a shower curtain) for the rest of this snowy winter.
Today, with the springlike weather, I finally fixed the sunroof drain by reconnecting the hose to the tube. Didn't think my big fat hands could do it, but they did! Thanks to the YouTube video

Changed the oil... and the air filter. And apparently I mustuve hit a huge chunk of ice or something on my way home last nite cause this afternoon when I jacked the car up to drain the oil... the coolant hoses were in 2 pieces. Thankfully all I had to do was snap them back together and add coolant but had to use a different clamp to secure the 2 pieces back together. Was having a heck of a time with the old one.
What do people do with the lower coolant hoses if you are lowered? Just hope nothing happens? I know on my car the coolant hoses sit right at the bottom of the bumper and the smallest piece of debris could potentially set your car out of commission for a little while.

I did something similar on my 2013 "Justa." My cup holder trim rings are painted chili red (matches the red stitching on my sport seats, steering wheel handbrake and shifter) and the shift boot base trim ring painted gloss black to match the trim ring on the horn pad.

Lol yeah Mini already replaced my power steering pump under the warranty after a fight because it's an 06 it's just outside of the manufacturers dates they are covering.
